Tags on Medium are becoming more important than ever before. And Medium does not provide enough resources concerning this subject. They only go so far as to say: “Add or change tags (up to 5) so readers know what your story is about.

And that begs the question, ‘If we’re using the right tag;’ ‘what is the right tag.’

Do we know all the options that we have? And what the hell is this Top Writer thingy?

Let’s sort this all out. So here’s presenting the ultimate guide for top tags to use in your articles plus some good practices.

What are tags?

Tags are those keywords that you’re prompted to enter before publishing a story (or submitting it to a publication) on Medium.

It helps the algorithm know more about your story and to which group of audience to show it to.

It’s of no significance from your readers’ POV. If you open any Medium article through your web browser you won’t be able to see the tags of that story.

But for the algorithm, it’s the most important 5 (group of) words. If not, then only second to your Title.
